Al Qaeda Threatens to kill 120 ‘spies’
KOHAT, Aug 5: The Al Qaeda members have issued a list of 120 Pakistanis and Afghan nationals accusing them of spying for FBI with a warning that all of them would be killed one by one, officials confirmed here on Monday
The pamphlets said that each spy would be tracked down by Al Qaeda members who had been provided with their photographs, and the successful Al Qaeda men would be awarded $100,000 each.
On Tuesday last, one such alleged spy, Mohammad Ali, was killed in the bazaar by a member of Al Qaeda who was later arrested by the authorities and shifted to Peshawar for interrogation.
The Al Qaeda members also warned the government officials taking action against their tribal friends. After that warning, the security had been beefed up around the residences of these officials. Thousands of armymen have been searching for the Al Qaeda men hiding in the mountains bordering Afghanistan.
